The project aims to understand construction lessons from schemes supported in the Innovative Housing Programme's second year. The estimated value of the 8-month contract is GBP 45,000, with a focus on low carbon housing development. The procurement stage is at the planning phase, with a deadline for interested parties to register their interest on the Sell2Wales website. This tender by the Welsh Government presents an opportunity for research and development service providers experienced in the construction industry, particularly those with a focus on low carbon housing technologies. Businesses with expertise in innovative housing solutions and experience in delivering research projects will be well-suited to compete. The procurement process seeks to gain insights into lessons learned in the construction sector, aiming to overcome barriers and leverage opportunities to drive forward sustainable housing developments in Wales. ## Notice Welsh Government aim to award a 8 month contract valued at approximately GBP 45000 to deliver a research project to understand the construction lessons learnt from the schemes supported in the second year of the Innovative Housing Programme (IHP). The Welsh Government will use this research to further understand the barriers and opportunities that are present in the development of low carbon housing.The Welsh Government wishes to commission an experienced contractor to undertake research into the construction lessons learned from all schemes funded in year 2 of the Innovative Housing Programme (IHP).The Innovative Housing Programme was first announced in February 2017 by the then Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children and has since been developed to support the development of new and innovative approaches to delivering housing in Wales.The IHP has a fund of GBP 155m over the years 2017/18 to 2020/21 to support schemes to meet a target of 2,000 affordable homes. This programme forms an important part of the Welsh Government's overall target for 20,000 new low carbon homes to be built by 2026.The Programme seeks to support innovation in a broad context, covering construction techniques, delivery pathways and housing types across all tenures, with the exception of the refurbishment of existing residential dwellings.In Year One (2017-18), the IHP was open to Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and Local Housing Associations (LHAs), including local authority owned housing companies. The 2017-18 programme was aligned with the Social Housing Grant (SHG) programme, including its monitoring and evaluation requirements.An evaluation of the Year One lessons learnt was conducted in 2020 and published on 15th September 2020. This research reported findings relating to: navigating the planning process; construction challenges; workforce challenges; comparisons between IHP and typical build programmes; and progress to date against outcomes.For Year Two (2018-19) the scope of the programme was extended to cover:- market housebuilders (including large house-builders and SMEs)- other developers (e.g. charities, co-operatives and individuals)In order to evaluate Year Two of construction, a comparison to findings from Year One would be needed, as well as an exploration of any different experiences with market housebuilders and other types of developers. This would include a comparison between RSLs and LHAs alongside additional barriers or successes.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=128458. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=128458 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CAERDYDD / CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 25 Jan 2023 at 10:34 - Planning - S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=128458 ## Notice URLs - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=128458 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
